As the founder of Cianna’s Smile, I am immensely proud of the strides we have made in 2023-2024. This year has been a testament to the power of collaboration, resilience, and community spirit as we continue to advocate for individuals and families impacted by Sickle Cell.

We expanded our outreach through impactful campaigns and events. Our initiatives, such as the Youth Entrepreneur Club provided young people with tools to build their confidence, skills, and leadership capabilities. Through these programmes, we are creating a generation of empowered advocates ready to drive meaningful change.

We developed tailored educational resources for young people, parents, healthcare professionals, schools, and community groups, raising awareness and empathy for the challenges faced by those living with Sickle Cell. Our work in this area ensures that individuals receive better care and support across various settings.

We inspired more individuals to donate blood, directly benefiting those reliant on lifesaving blood exchanges and transfusions. Despite challenges, such as limited local appointments, we persisted in spreading this critical message.

This year, we strengthened partnerships with universities, businesses, and healthcare organisations, enabling us to reach more people and secure vital resources.

Looking ahead, I am confident that Cianna’s Smile will continue to grow in impact and reach. Together, we are breaking barriers, raising awareness and creating a brighter future for individuals impacted by Sickle Cell.

Thank you to our supporters, volunteers, funders and partners who make this journey possible.

Melissa Connor

As the Charity Secretary of Cianna’s Smile, it has been a privilege to witness and contribute to the incredible work our organisation has achieved this year. From engaging directly with families to supporting events, my role has allowed me to see the profound impact we have on the lives of those impacted by Sickle Cell.

One of the highlights of my work has been connecting with teachers and parents, encouraging them to explore the resources and support we offer. These conversations have opened doors for better understanding and collaboration, ensuring that children and young people living with Sickle Cell feel supported both at home and in educational settings.

I’ve had the honour of helping out at our events, including our awareness and action group activities. These occasions not only spread awareness but also provide a sense of community for families, showing them they are not alone in their journey. Seeing the positive reactions from attendees and hearing their feedback has been both rewarding and motivating.

Through my role, I’ve also focused on improving connections between schools, community groups, and our charity. These partnerships are vital in expanding our reach.

As we look ahead, I am excited to continue supporting Cianna’s Smile in its mission to raise awareness, provide support, and inspire action. It is heartening to know that our efforts are making a real difference, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to this journey.

As a trustee of Cianna’s Smile, it has been a joy to contribute my expertise in marketing and social media to help the charity grow its presence and reach. This year has been filled with meaningful experiences, and I’m proud to have supported an organisation making such a positive impact on individuals and families impacted by Sickle Cell.

I’ve focused on helping the charity develop and refine its marketing efforts, ensuring that our campaigns effectively communicate the importance of our mission. It has been rewarding to see how these strategies have engaged and inspired action within our community.

Through targeted social media guidance, we’ve been able to connect with diverse audiences, sharing powerful stories, educational content, and updates on our work. Social media has become an essential tool for amplifying our message and fostering a sense of community among supporters and I’ve enjoyed being part of this process.

When asked: If I was not a member of Cianna’s Smile, I would.................

Feel much more alone in navigating the complexities of life with Sickle Cell. My son would miss out on opportunities to connect with others and benefit from the thoughtful support that makes such a difference during tough times

Feel isolated and probably not talking about sickle cell

If I am not a member of Cianna’s Smile , I will feel isolated and lonely and think I am the only one with the condition.
I would not be able to go on amazing trips and experience important life skills.
Not be able to always recommend sickle cell warriors to get engaged in the group
Be lost...

Not have as much fun as a family

Wouldn’t be as confident living with sickle cell
Not be as positive about my sister having sickle cell
Not meet other people with sickle cell
I would struggle to see beyond the challenges of living with sickle cell disease. I fear that I would define our identity by this condition rather than emphasising that it is just one aspect of who we are. I would find it difficult to encourage my daughter to recognise that she is more than her condition. Without Cianna’s Smile, I wouldn't have a community to share my thoughts and feelings with. This support is vital for maintaining my mental health, as it provides a space where others truly understand what I'm going through. I don't have to over-explain my situation, and I can seek advice freely.
I will be sad because my mom wouldn't let me out of the house unless it was summer. I will miss opportunities to develop a better relationship with my brother during our trips.
I don't want to think about it!

Feel alone

Unsure of how my state of mind would be, because Cianna’s Smile is a great charity supporting parents like me. We have a platform to share thoughts and also to ask advice from other warriors and parents which is very useful.

Not be able to meet people like me

Continued

Feel isolated in dealing and managing my son's condition.
Life would be lonely and isolating. Pre Cianna’s Smile I hardly knew anybody living with Sickle Cell.

I had no support network and no one to reach out to.

Thank you for being there Cianna’s smile
I have met lifelong friends who care about me and my kids. I would not have Hayley to call when things are getting bad and I need someone to talk to. Especially during hospital admissions, when I feel helpless.

Not know how to help my sister

Be Missing a lot of things I suppose to know about my son
Not having the support on this journey can be lonely since many people do not understand it.
Still be looking for answers to help me better take care of my son, and would be looking for more support

Not be so aware of issues that may arise/as educated

Miss out on a lot
Never have discovered why and how sickle cell pain affects somebody living with it and I wouldn't have been able to help my brothers.

Financial Review

Cianna's Smile had a record-breaking year in fundraising during the 2022/23 financial year, as reflected in our report to the Charities Commission. In 2023/24, we strategically reduced our fundraising efforts to focus on delivering the projects funded in previous periods. While this approach impacted our financial results for the year, it allowed us to fulfil our commitments and ensure the successful implementation of key initiatives for our beneficiaries.

Our financials reflect a predictable ebb and flow in income and expenditure due to our prudent approach. Cianna's Smile secures funding before commencing projects, which sometimes results in timing differences between income and expenditure. This careful strategy ensures the sustainability and effectiveness of our programmes while safeguarding the charity's financial health.

A notable development in 2023/24 is the employment of two part-time staff (equivalent to 0.8 FTE), enhancing our capacity to deliver impactful services and projects.

Cianna's Smile remains committed to maintaining financial resilience through its reserve policy, which targets six months of unrestricted reserves. These reserves provide flexibility to manage temporary income shortfalls, cover core operational costs, and maintain adequate working capital.

As we move forward, we are excited to deepen the impact of our activities and services in the new financial year. With a strong foundation, we are well-positioned to continue supporting our beneficiaries while remaining sustainable and prepared for future opportunities.

Main source of income: Grants

Key areas of expenditure: Activities and support for beneficiaries, Salary and blood donation campaign.

Reserves Policy: The charity aims to maintain reserves sufficient to cover 6 months of operating costs to ensure sustainability.

Plans for Future Periods

Expand Community Support:

Broaden our reach to support more families across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Kent, providing tailored services and resources to those impacted by Sickle Cell.

Raise Awareness:

Launch targeted campaigns to increase understanding of Sickle Cell, Sickle Cell trait and the urgent need for new blood donors, engaging diverse communities in the conversation.

Advocate for Policy Change: Intensify efforts to drive long-term policy changes that address inequalities in care standards for individuals and families impacted by Sickle Cell, ensuring equitable healthcare access.

Support Schools: Introduce training and resources for teachers to enhance the quality of life for students with Sickle Cell by ensuring they receive proper support in educational settings.

Empower Youth and Promote Mental Health: Develop new programmes focused on youth empowerment and mental health, addressing critical needs and building resilience among young people affected by Sickle Cell.

These plans reflect our commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change for individuals, families, and communities impacted by Sickle Cell.

Acknowledgements

The trustees would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to:

Our volunteers, donors, and fundraisers whose support makes our work possible.
Partner organisations, funders and sponsors for their collaboration and generosity.
The families and individuals we serve for inspiring us every day.

To our funders:

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to believing in our mission, which empowers us to continue to raise awareness, educate communities, and drive meaningful change for young people and families impacted by Sickle Cell in the 2023/24 financial year.

Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an and gifts addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. performance related grants Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report i

Report to the trustees/ Cianna’s Smile members of

On accounts for the year 5[th] April 2024 Charity no 1173030 ended (if any) Set out on pages 1-2

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
● to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
● to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act other than that disclosed below; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached .
